Mission, not posters
Four products live on this site. This page is the standard behind them — the mission, who we've built for, how we grow local talent, and the documented financing gap that makes My Village necessary rather than nice-to-have.
The mission
Cirqco exists to give Africa the infrastructure the world has been slow to imagine on its behalf — not aid, not a pilot programme, but software built here, owned here, and good enough to compete anywhere. That starts with four groups, in this order: the startups doing the work without a paper trail, the youth who make up most of the region's workforce, the everyday markets — a car rental, a pharmacy order — that should just work, and the leadership, ours and our partners', that has to show up and answer for the outcome.
We're asking investors, government partners and institutions to come build this with us. If financial inclusion, youth enterprise, or digital public infrastructure in Africa is your mandate, this is an open invitation, not a pitch.
Principles
Values only matter if you can point to the decision they caused. Here's what each one actually changed in the product.
Clients & partners
Cirqco's four flagship products sit on top of years of real engagements — hospitality operators, developers, an innovation ecosystem and a national youth NGO. This is the track record behind the product decisions.
An international hotel management group operating properties across the Middle East and Africa. Cirqco's operations and systems work here fed directly into the booking, pipeline and finance logic later built for Cirqco's own products.
A property development business where Cirqco supported systems and digital infrastructure — grounding in real-estate operations that shows up in how My Village handles assets, contracts and multi-party ledgers.
One of Kampala's established startup and innovation hubs. Cirqco works alongside the ecosystem it was built to serve, rather than treating hubs, incubators and cooperatives as an afterthought once the product is done.
A leading Ugandan youth-development NGO. This relationship keeps Cirqco's products honest about who they're actually for — the same young entrepreneurs and workers My Village's Trust Score is designed to make bankable.
We're always open to adding institutions to this list — cooperatives, SACCOs, hospitality groups, developers and NGOs working on the same problem are welcome to reach out directly.
Capacity & talent
Every product on this site was built by people who learned on the job — which is exactly why Cirqco treats skill development as part of the mission, not a CSR line item. Young engineers, designers and product people work on real, live Cirqco codebases: My Village's ledger, Medveta's distribution engine, Cruizly's trust layer. That's a deliberate choice — capacity built on production systems compounds; capacity built on tutorials doesn't.
We sponsor that pathway because the alternative is familiar and costly: Africa trains the talent, and someone else's market hires it away. Cirqco would rather keep building reasons for that talent to stay and build here — starting with the startups, the youth, and the markets this company already exists to serve.
The challenge we've set ourselves
Medveta Distribution is already in production for pharmaceutical wholesalers. Medveta HMS is live — three apps on one connected backbone: Patient Mobile for multi-hospital care, Doctor Mobile for rounds and orders on the ward, and HMS Desktop for registration, billing, pharmacy and lab. It is built to a standard we believe can meet or exceed what patients and providers get from many existing health systems today. We say that as a challenge we're setting for ourselves, not a claim we've already proven — and we'd rather be judged against that bar than a lower one.
That ambition only means something if it's built alongside the institutions already responsible for health outcomes, not instead of them. Ministries, hospital networks and health-focused NGOs working on the same problem are the first people we want at the table.
How we relate with people
Contact goes straight to Maxwell — the email and phone number in the footer of every page on this site reach him directly, not a support ticket system or a chatbot.
Institutions get the same directness. A cooperative, a SACCO, a government digitisation programme, or an investor doing diligence can ask an engineering question and get an engineering answer, not a scripted sales response. Where a partner needs specific compliance, audit, or data-handling guarantees, that's a conversation Cirqco has directly and puts in writing — not a feature buried in a roadmap.
Our neighbourhood
Every product on this site was designed and coded from Kampala, Uganda — not adapted from a template built for another market. Cruizly's KYC is built around Ugandan and foreign driver documents. Medveta serves local pharmaceutical wholesalers and the pharmacies that order from them. My Village is designed for African cooperatives, NGOs and informal businesses first, because that's the neighbourhood it was built to serve.
SACCOs, cooperatives, youth groups and local government digitisation programmes are welcome to reach out directly — Cirqco would rather build alongside the institutions already working this problem than build around them.
Why My Village exists
The Sub-Saharan African SME financing gap is estimated at roughly US$331 billion a year, and only 20–30% of MSMEs in the region can access formal credit — even though they're estimated to drive the large majority of regional employment. The reason cited consistently by the World Bank, IFC and AfDB is the same one Cirqco hears directly from operators: informal businesses keep no audited records, so lenders can't tell a real operation from a risk they can't price.
Young entrepreneurs carry the sharpest version of this problem — no credit history, no collateral, and often no formal registration yet. A boda fleet operator, a farming cooperative, a youth-led NGO: the work is real, but the record of it usually isn't.
My Village exists to close that specific gap. One identity, one ledger, one audit trail under every module, so ordinary operating history becomes evidence a lender, donor, or regulator can actually read. That's the Trust Score — not a score built on collateral, but one built on doing the work and having it on record.
Open door
Cirqco is founder-funded to date, with no outside capital taken. My Village is raising a US$250,000 pre-seed to finish the remaining engines and take its first institutional deployments — cooperatives, SACCOs, NGOs, and government-adjacent programmes that need this same accountability infrastructure.
We're open to investors, government partners, and institutions working on financial inclusion, youth enterprise, or digital public infrastructure in Africa. If that's your mandate, talk to us directly — help us build Africa together.
